Robert Adragna Random House eventually decided to
release all the adventures of the Three Investigators in
paperback, and Robert Adragna drew the illustrations for
the new covers. Adragna had already taken over cover
illustrations of the hardbacks beginning with "Sinister
Scarecrow" and had a drawing style that is detailed
and engaging. Unfortunately, his drawings of the boys on
most of the covers bear little resemblance to the
illustrations of Harry Kane, and it appears almost as
though he were drawing a different set of boys on each
cover (i.e., the boys on any given cover do not strongly
resemble the boys on a different cover). |
